The phrase “air pollution” is no longer strange to us. People often perceive it as ‘invisible,’ making it challenging to recognize. However, we are not always helpless before this problem. Below, Puritrak will show you some simple tips to identify air pollution with the naked eye for you. Be aware and take preventative measures to protect the health of you and your loved ones.
1. Simple tips to identify air pollution with the naked eye
1.1. When it’s cloudy
This is the simplest and easiest way to recognize signs of polluted air. During heavy air pollution, the AQI index increases, causing the air to become hazy and the weather to turn cloudy. At that time, it will be very difficult for you to see clearly in the distance, your vision will be obstructed by the fine dust hanging in the air.
As shown in the photo above, when the air is less polluted, you can easily see the VNPT sign behind Turtle Tower. However, on days when Hanoi’s air is seriously polluted, it is difficult to see the words VNPt behind.
1.2. Unpleasant smell
Another tip to recognize air pollution is the smell: an unpleasant smell or a gas that is difficult to breathe. This odor can come from sources such as cigarette smoke, toxic gases, or fine dust particles.
1.3. Marks on the surface
Air pollution can cause surfaces to become dirty quickly. People can look for traces of dirt or substances on indoor or outdoor items to identify signs of pollution.
1.4. The size of dust particles is large
During severe air pollution, you may observe large dust particles rising in the air or settling on surfaces.
1.5. Resistance decreases
If you feel tired, have difficulty breathing, or have other health symptoms when exposed to air in a particular environment, it could also be a sign of air pollution.
2. Effective measures to clean indoor air
It is difficult for us to control outdoor air quality, but controlling indoor air quality is possible. Let Puritrak introduce you to effective methods for cleaning indoor air.
2.1. Use an air purifier
This is the most effective solution to clean indoor air. The air purifier is capable of filtering out dust particles, pollen, hair and fur up to 99.97%. Besides, the air purifier also helps kill bacteria and eliminate unwanted odors in the living space. Helps the space become more comfortable and pleasant.

Indoor air circulation plays an important role in maintaining a healthy and comfortable living space.
Open windows and doors to create natural air circulation in the house. Make it a habit to open windows and doors in the morning to allow fresh and clean air to flow in from outside.
2.3. Place plants indoors
Trees have the ability to absorb pollutants and create a green living space and beautify the room.
However, avoid placing too many plants in the room, as it may not be beneficial when night falls.
2.4. Limit the use of chemicals
Chemicals in household products such as paint, ink and detergent are sources of indoor air pollution. Try to reduce your use of products containing harmful chemicals and look for environmentally friendly products.
2.5. Maintain cleanliness
Regular cleaning is an effective way to reduce mold, bacteria and allergens. Cleaning surfaces, vacuuming periodically, and replacing bedding helps maintain fresh air.
2.6. Use air conditioners and air conditioners
Although the primary purpose of air conditioners is to cool the air in the room, they can still contribute to cleaning the air in the house and maintaining comfort.
2.7. Limit smoke
Limit smoke from cigarettes or coal-burning stoves, and use a range hood to remove smoke and unpleasant odors.
2.8. Clean pets regularly
